Fresh plans submitted for Nuneaton Morrisons site

Published on

Uncertainty has arisen over a fresh development proposal that has surfaced for the abandoned Morrisons supermarket project in Nuneaton. The application appears on the council’s weekly online register published by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council. The submission seeks approval to remove certain conditions that were attached to the original permission granted for a store and fuel station on land near Midland Road during summer 2023. The puzzling aspect of this new proposal is that it emerges four months after CoventryLive disclosed that the national chain had abandoned plans for a new store and petrol station on the site off Midland Road. Last November, the company informed us that extraordinary rises in operational expenses had resulted in there being no viable path forward for the proposed store. The communication clarified that the site would be offered for sale. Yet the fresh application hints that the supermarket could potentially be revived. CoventryLive has reached out to Morrisons for confirmation regarding the new planning submission and whether the decision to abandon the store has altered. Nuneaton residents can now access the latest updates from Nuneaton and Bedworth through a dedicated WhatsApp group.
